Now in its 15^th edition, REFIT presents what its editors consider to be the most interesting, the most challenging and/or the most transformative refits and rebuilds of private yachts. In addition we offer guidance on how to approach refits in two essays that interview a host of experts.

The phrase ‘a new lease of life’ is sometimes overused, yet the projects in this volume do just that – update an existing hull into something as serviceable as if it was newly minted.

This year we present 16 refits, rebuilds and restorations from a mere decade to a glorious century old. Each showcases different approaches, methodologies and rationales.

Refit volume 15 is the ultimate reference on yacht renovation, restoration and rebuilding.
